Elands Bay, a small town on the West Coast area of South Africa is the ideal place for a weekend getaway from the city. Only a 2-hour drive from the City of Cape Town, the West Coast can’t be beaten for hospitality and laid back atmosphere.The seemingly endless beach’s white sand and tranquil blue waters are the main reason why people go on holiday there.

Activities in the area include sailing, surfing, rock climbing and mountain biking.  The area is also popular with both bird and whale watchers. The reputedly good fishing spot has some of the best catch on the West Coast, and the quality of the snoek is unparalleled.

The natural beauty of the West Coast has to be the biggest contributor in holidaymakers coming to the region. The endless fields of flowers reminiscent of the Namaqualand are magical.  The interesting rock formations and natural wildlife creates an atmosphere that would make you want to stay.

The West Coast National Park is close by and a guaranteed way to invigorate your senses before you have to go back to the city again. The hospitality of the local people could have that effect on you too.
